Barbara Warren always has the pedal to the metal. Born in England and educated at a convent, she left school at sixteen and was selling encyclopedias in the roughest part of London at eighteen.

Then she pursued her passion for the arts and for travel. She and her husband rode camels in India, elephants in Nepal and horses in Montana. They hitchhiked in Norway, cycled across Denmark and snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef. Barbara’s paintings grace homes in Canada, USA and Mexico and she designs her own clothes.

As a first time Author , I am now reading my own book, over a year after it was published.

Your mother, Mantua, was the love child of Edina and Bill but never knew. She always thought that Charles was her father. If you had been able to tell her, do you think that she would have tried to contact Bill and/or his family or would she “let sleeping dogs lie’? What would your grandparents reaction have been?

She often wondered why Charles did not like her. Often wondered why he treated her differently from her siblings.
Would she have gone searching. I doubt that she would have done this. Bill died in 1944. She was only 24 then.
My thoughts on my grandparents reaction, they would have denied and continued to lie about their lives.(less)

Reflections.

All my traditions surrounding Christmas from the past seven years have been shattered this year.

Which sent me on a path of reflection.

Think back to this time last year and the controversy surrounding refugees in Canada.
No country seems devoid of conflicts...Mexico El Chapo. Refugees arriving by boat, and putting Europe in turmoil, can you forget those images? Terrorist attacks. Brexit, Fort Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Barbara Warren (?)

“They took to walking and chatting in a park close to the house. Charles was flattered by the attention he was given by Edina. He had never had a girlfriend and smiled at the eagerness of this blossoming young woman. One evening, as they walked in the park. Charles took Edina's hand in his, and immediately the fire in his belly was lit.
"So, what is it you want to do, Edina?”

“Reading and writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it - will be dead as well.”
― Margaret Atwood
